Cover of the Amazon book The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands by Sarah Brooks which is a black cover, ringed by a little train on all four sides with the title and author name on a ribbon that appears to be emanating from a smokestack.

   Book 78: The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands (rethreaded). This is a book named after a book that is in this book. It describes the world in 1899 where *something happened* and the area betw Moscow and Beijing, an odd mystery area that isn't hospitable to humans. But the Trans-Siberian Express still goes through there, on a fraught crossing with a lot of real and imagined perils. I enjoyed the train descriptions and the ultimate conclusion, some of the rest of it felt a little flat.
